On the subject of diesels, I know they don't run the same EGT's. I was reading a forum for 6.5l turbo (chevy) and one guy mentioned keeping EGT's under 1K *F. As far as A/F ratios, I think it would be really hard to regulate A/F's with out a throttle plate. In fact the dam things run off detonation. Low octane fuel, and from my understanding 14:1 CR is on the low end for them.

Diesels run on the properties of detonation. Air flow into the engine stays the same, no throttle body. As more fuel is added power goes up, the richer the mixture, the more power it makes.
